Uruguayan ethics investigations and resolutions
Overview
In Uruguay, the Transparency and Public Ethics Board (Jutep) has closed several investigations following recent resolutions. The board decided to archive a complaint regarding the asset and income declarations of Rodrigo Arim, the director of the Office of Planning and Budget (OPP). While legal advisors noted that certain inconsistencies in asset valuations and property income reporting could have justified a formal investigation, they suggested archiving was necessary due to procedural issues involving unauthorized access to reserved data.
Additionally, the board found that Alejandra Koch, the former director of the National Port Administration (ANP), committed a violation by failing to recuse herself when her husband was assigned specific functions. The board also archived a complaint regarding alleged nepotism within the Lavalleja Intendency, concluding that no prohibited kinship or dependency relationships were proven under current law, despite reservations from board member Luis Calabria regarding the dependency of officials on the interim mayor.
